In case anyone (particularly fellow nano reefers) is looking to put together a quick and dirty pod hotel, here's a quick and dirty idea that's worked really well for me, and my now extremely fat mandarin.
Best part is it only cost me $2.50 at my local TAP Plastic store and a few minutes of drilling. (Granted not careful drilling as this was originally meant as a trial/prototype...but git lazy and just kept it as is in my tank, cracks and all)
I left the bottom undrilled to keeps sand out but drilled all sides and top. Stuffed it with chaeto and stuck it in a corner of my tank with my powerhead sitting on top, which helps water movement through the box. Also, put a cheap USB led mini lamp to shine onto the chaeto from the outside to keep it healthy and happy (box is located in dark corner of tank).
